Cranberry Relish… adulterated from Donna Hay and Nigella Lawson.

You can make cranberry sauce! You can. And you will. It’s so easy and makes a fabulous present in a chic jar to take as a gift on Christmas day.
Tip: if don’t have cherry brandy or vinegar just add water and lemon juice. And any other alcohol you can find…

You need for about 3 cups:

500g frozen or dried cranberries
2 cups (440g) caster sugar
¼ cup (60ml) water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ cup cherry brandy or sherry vinegar

  • Slip into your favourite Gucci Caftan.
  • Climb out of your outrageous Chloe heels.
  • Stop thinking about Christmas shopping. That hurts more than your feet
  • Pour a huge Champers. Gulp.
  • Open bag of cranberries.
  • Squeeze the lemon juice.
  • Find a saucepan and toss in cranberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water and put over low heat.
  • You want the sugar dissolved. Like your hips.
  • Now get out the cherry brandy and taste to check. Hic.
  • Put back straight away like a good girl.
  • Pour the vinegar and cherry brandy into the sugar/cranberry mix
  • Don’t get splattered with hot goo.
  • Now cook over a medium heat and let it simmer and bubble away like jam for 20 minutes or until slightly thickened.
  • Cook more if it’s too watery.
  • Let it cool slightly and then spoon into chic, clean and just washed and sterilized jars.
  • Pop in the fridge: it will last for a week and at least in time for Christmas (it’s just like jam).
  • Serve on Christmas Day!
